TAMPA, FLA. -- A night of partying with two women at a bar and in his Tampa, Florida, hotel room allegedly cost the Staten Island Yankees pitching coach his $10,000 World Series championship ring and two cell phones -- one which was issued by the Yankees.

According to police, Daneker, who has been the Baby Bombers' pitching coach since 2008, was having drinks with at the Blue Martini Bar with another coach, Carlos Chantres. Chantres, who was the Staten Island squad's pitching coach in 2006, most recently served in 2009 as pitching coach for the Tampa-based Gulf Coast Yankees in the Rookie League.

As cops tell it, the two men met two young women, whom Chantres allegedly knew, at the bar.

They had drinks, and the women, who were wearing "short mini skirts," wound up with Daneker at his Holiday Inn Express hotel room.

The hotel clerk told police that Daneker and the women arrived in white taxi van around 3 a.m. Daneker then got money from the hotel ATM.

Daneker, who was "extremely intoxicated," told police he and the women "mess[ed] around." Afterward, he had a lapse in memory and couldn't recall what happened. The Cherry Hill, N.J., resident also told police he didn't remember going to the ATM.

The clerk told cops the women left the motel around 3:15 a.m. without Daneker.

Daneker reported the theft to the clerk just after 4 a.m. The clerk called police.

Missing were Daneker's New York Yankees championship ring along with two cells phones. One was his personal phone, the other belonged to the Yankees. He also said $120 in cash was stolen.

Daneker is married, according to his biography on the Baby Bomber's Web site.

The unidentified women face grand-theft charges.

Daneker pitched briefly in the major leagues for the Chicago White Sox in 2000.

He bounced around the minor leagues and independent league from 1997 through 2006, the Baby Bombers' Web site shows. He joined the Staten Island club in 2008 as pitching coach.

Staten Island Yankees president Joseph Ricciutti said he was not aware of the incident until an Advance reporter called today seeking comment. Ricciutti said he could not comment.
The Baby Bombers open their 76-game season in the Class A New York- Penn League at home on June 18 against the Brooklyn Cyclones. Ricciutti said Daneker was not in Tampa, the Florida hub of the New York Yankees, in an official capacity for the Baby Bombers.
